If my car's ac issue is serious, I'm done - I'm trading in for a CPO 335 and I don't care how much $$$ I loose - I'd rather loose it all at once and finance it at a comfortable CPO rate than loose it slowly with these unexpected POS repairs... I am so not kidding about it this time... anyway, sorry for the slight threadjack
Sorry to hear about your ride's AC problems. We all know that you want a 335. Will you reflash the ECU and get the 50-80 bhp gain?

I was planning on doing this mod, but I think I need to do the angel eyes first. Looks awesome by the way! They still light up orange though yeah?

on the 335? Probably, as long as it doesn't mess with the warranty. Maybe I'd get the Juicebox or smth eventually. At first though, I'm pretty sure a stick shift 335 coupe would be more than enough. Hopefully, I can just use my SB on it and won't have to buy another one. My only problem is that this forum does not have an e92 N54 section

Yes they still light up orange. This is a very inexpensive mod -- a lot less than HID fogs, HID headlights or full LED interior lights.

Well, doing a ECU reflash will lead to the loss of warranty coverage if the dealership detects and reflash and attributes a failure of an otherwise warrantied part/component to it. It is why if I got a car with the 335's/535's motor, I would probably get the Dinan reflash as that one has big claimed power gains and carries a warranty from Dinan.

This was a double reflection of the same shoes: John's.

Are you talking about the reflector by the wheel?
